Arizona (3-1, 0-1 Pac-12) at USC (3-2, 0-2) — Ed Orgeron takes over as interim head coach of the Trojans after the firing of Lane Kiffin. Ka’Deem Carey and the Wildcats will try to recover after a tough loss to No. 16 Washington two weeks ago. USC superstar receiver Marqise Lee is not expected to play with a knee injury. The last six games in this series have been settled by a touchdown or less, and this one should follow the trend.

No. 2 Oregon (5-0, 2-0) at No. 16 Washington (4-1, 1-1) — ESPN College Gameday is in town as the Huskies host the Ducks. Even without De’Anthony Thomas, who is questionable with an ankle injury, Oregon has not lost a beat on offense in the last two games. Washington nearly knocked off No. 5 Stanford last weekend, and will look to bounce back at home against an explosive Ducks team led by Heisman candidate Marcus Mariota.

No. 5 Stanford (5-0, 3-0) at Utah (3-2, 0-2) — The Cardinal travel to Salt Lake City to face the Utes. Travis Wilson and Utah will try to recover from a six-interception game that ended in disappointing loss to UCLA. With its solid run game and stout defense, Stanford hopes to remain unbeaten while keeping the Utes without a win in conference play. Both teams possess physical linemen, and this game will be won in the trenches.

Colorado (2-2, 0-2) at Arizona State (3-2, 1-1) — The Buffs travel to Tempe and look to get back on track after a blowout loss to Oregon. The Sun Devils, undefeated at home this season, should be fired up after a nail-biting defeat to Notre Dame last weekend at the Cowboys’ stadium. Colorado’s Paul Richardson and Arizona State’s Jaeleen Strong square off in a matchup of two of the top receivers in the Pac-12.

Cal (1-4, 0-2) at No. 11 UCLA (4-0, 1-0) — The Bruins look to stay undefeated while the injury-riddled Bears hope to replicate their upset victory over UCLA a year ago. Cal travels to Pasadena in what will be a homecoming game for Bryce Treggs, Chris Harper, and several other Los Angeles natives on the roster. The Bruins and head coach Jim Mora are fired up and want to avenge their blowout loss last season in Berkeley.

Oregon State (4-1, 2-0) at Washington State (4-2, 2-1) — Sean Mannion, the nation’s leading passer, and the Beavers travel north to Pullman to take on the Cougars. Fresh off his school-record 521 passing yards, Connor Halliday, the nation’s third leading passer, will try to lead Washington State one step closer to a potential bowl game with a victory. This one should be a shootout.
